Two little corrections: The default installed memory on board is actually 512K, expandable with additional 256K if you add the RAM expansion cartridge. Also, the price is not Canadian dollars as I assumed but plain old USD. Sorry for my mistakes!
-
A single person did this project? That's incredible.
-
Not really sure why all the hate is being directed at Jan for this. YES it is really expensive, but then maybe it's got a small audience which will mean a high price. All these computers are going to cost a pretty penny, Jan is just showing us the pros and cons. He's done similar for other devices. I like the repair videos, but I also like to see videos looking at this, so I don't think of shelling out more than a PS5 for something like this.
-
What a lovely machine. I hope it sells well.
-
Please do a series on this if you can. I think it's by far the most exciting of the current crop of retro computers.
-
Cool design. I’d love to see it pushed to the limit.
-
Looks a great little machine. Always love small wedge form factors (must be due to having a Plus/4 oh so many years ago) and this one has good looks without being garish but definitely being it’s own style.Stephanie and her software collaborators have made an interesting little retro box — can’t wait to find out more, so I hope Jan provides 😊 Great video, Jan, giving an overview of this little beastie — many thanks!
-
I am inpressed with what I see here. Very nice introduction. Hope to see some more advanced videos in the near future. Excellent video as always ...
-
Thanks, Jan. As always excellent and joib well done. I think I know where this year's entertainment budget is going.
-
I really like this project, it looks cute, and fun to use. Shout out for the Star Trek reference on the wall (blue "days without accidents" poster)!!
-
BBC Basic, C64 keyboard and sound commands ripped from the Oric-1 :) This is a Frankenstein 8-bit - love it!
-
I really love the design language on this. She did an excellent job on everything right down to the debug port! USB mini B is by far my favorite!
-
Love the colours
-
great video, great shirt, great computer! Jan your a great man! Would be nice to see more videos on this great computer
-
Great overview of the Foenix!
-
I've got one of these on order and I'm very much looking forward to receiving it.
-
I also got one recently and I'm loving it as a tinkerer first with some limited 6502 assembly experience under my belt, thanks to the Ben Eater series of videos on the 6502 breadboard computer. This seems like a logical step (leap!) from that point.
-
It looks like a funky machine; interesting to see further videos on it.
-
Thank you for the great video. I love the design of the pcb. It looks like candy. What I believe is really cool, is that the logo of the title screen mimics an old Arkanoid-level... : ) Cheers and best regards.

That case is gorgeous! Would love to have something compact like that for my Omega MSX.
